Important Safety Maintenance
Congratulations on becoming a Pedibal Navigata Owner. Now you have invested in the new E-bike,
we just wanted to remind you of a few important points you should consider every time before you
take your new e-bike out for a ride.
It has become apparent many of our customers are new to Electric Bicycles. Like any moving vehicle
with moving parts fixing points parts subject to moving/vibration. If it is not checked regularly, it can
become loose or detached. So we try to impress that it should become second nature to introduce
regular checks on a regular basis or prior to every use as a precautionary measure.
Check all fixing points are tight and secure and we
have highlighted those in the graphic on this page.
Pre Checks
Tighten All Screws Before Riding
• Always wear a helmet when riding
• Check brakes are secured and work sufficiently
• Check tires are inflated correctly
• Check pedals are tight
• Make sure light and reflectors are present/working

To ensure the safety, make the following functional checks before riding:
Normal operation of the light, brake and power cut system.
Tire pressure (low pressure will effect range and speed).
Wheel axle tightness. Battery charging level.
Braking system adjustment and free operation (wheel should spin freely,
and brake levers should have minimal travel before engaging the brake).

When the battery is removed, do not touch the “+” and “-” contacts,
especially with wet hands or metallic objects.
Do not recharge the battery in the inverted position. Doing so would
drastically reduce its lifespan.
Place the charger in a flat, secure place, and connect the output plug to
the socket on the battery pack.
Connect the mains plug (110V/220V terminal) to a power outlet and the
charging will start.
After charging has finished, unplug from the mains (terminal 110V/220V),
and then the battery pack.
Recharge the battery after each use (this will not degrade the lifespan of
the battery).
The battery does not need to be removed from the bike in order to
charge.
Bike needs to be in folded position to remove battery. To remove the
battery - turn the key and then pull the battery forwards (towards the
folding join of the frame) and upwards carefully until the pack lifts out.
The charger will automatically stop once the battery pack is full.
Always charge in dry conditions and indoors away from direct sunlight.
Check charger cables, charger, and battery for damage before
beginning each charge.
Charging tips
With the battery removed
Switch off the power via the switch on the battery pack.
Plug the output lead of the charger into the socket of the battery pack.
Plug the mains adapter into a 110/220V power socket to start charging.
After charging, first unplug from the mains outlet and then from the
battery pack. NOTE: Always charge your battery at temperatures
between 10 and 26 Celsius and ensure the battery is not damaged
before charging.
When the battery is charging on the bike
When properly connected, the indicator light on the charger adapter will
turn red.
For the first charge, you should allow 8-10 hours. If the indicator light
turns yellow, it means the battery is doing a trickle-charge to ensure the
battery is not over-charged. Normal charging takes between 2-8 hours.
The charger is designed to prevent the battery over-charging, but as a
precaution you should not leave the battery charging for more than 24
hours.

Battery

Battery & Range
Keep the charger in a safe place, away from children.
Do not use the battery when not fully charged as it will decrease its lifespan.
Always use the original charger. Third-party chargers may damage, or shorten the
life of the battery.
The charger works with both 110/220V mains.
The charger does not have any serviceable parts. Please do not open it without
permission.
Avoid charger contact with liquids and/or metal objects. Always be sure it is safely
stored/placed so that it can not suffer damage from a fall/impact.
When in use, the charger should not be covered, to prevent overheating, damage,
or fire.
The charger is only for indoor use. Please keep it in dry and ventilated place.
If you notice a strange smell from the charger or it is too hot, stop charging and
contact Pedibal support. Due to risk of damage or injury, do not attempt to use the
charger.
If charging with the battery removed
In order to reduce consumption, increase autonomy, and extend the motor's
lifespan, use the pedals during the startups and climbs.
Do not twist the throttle too fast. The vehicle should accelerate slowly, reducing
consumption and risk of damage to the electrical system. It’s recommended to use
the pedals to avoid sudden stops and starts.
The vehicle controller has a charge overload protection. If overloaded, energy
supply will be cut automatically and restored when it returns to normal.
While riding, avoid using the throttle as you brake as it may damage the motor.
The maximum load is 120KGs. Exceeding this will cause excess wear and tear.
Important tips while riding
When pushing the e-bike manually, turn off the power to avoid accidental
acceleration.
It is recommended to park indoors.
In a public place, the e-bike must be parked in accordance with local traffic rules.
When parking in any situation, do not forget to switch off the power and remove
the key.
Important tips when parking
Press the battery ON/OFF button and the battery's power LED will display to indicate
power capacity.
Hold down the centre button on the head unit until LCD screen turns on.
For options, please check the LCD display manual for details.

Frequent braking and starting, riding uphill against a strong wind, starting from a
standstill and riding on rough or muddy roads, and carrying more than one person,
or heavy loads will consume extra battery power and shorten the range. A few tips
to prolong the battery life during these condition is as frequently.
Frequent Braking-try to look ahead and coast rather than stop and go frequently.
Riding uphill or against a stiff wind-pedal to supplement the battery power.
When starting from a standstill-use the pedals to help bring you up to speed.
When the battery meter indicators the voltage is low, switch to manual power and
avoid using the battery so you don’t shorten the battery life.
If the battery is being stored, remove the battery from the bicycle and recharge it
every month.
This user manual should be used only to reference use and functions but should
